Chapter 690: Solved Such a Hidden Danger Without Blood
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Emperor was very angry. He called the Sixth Prince to the palace and scolded him.
The Sixth Prince didn’t expect his father to find out that he was plotting against Xiao Baili and Xi Rui.
He could only lower his head and admit his mistake, saying that he had listened to his cousin’s instigation and almost did something stupid.
The Emperor looked at his son, who had lowered his head and pushed the blame to someone else, and his eyes were filled with disappointment.
He didn’t even have the courage to admit his mistake, yet he was still thinking about the throne.
“Xiao Baili is your Uncle King Yi’s favorite daughter,” he said with a dark face. “Xi Rui is also your Imperial Grandmother’s favorite grandnephew. How could you be so stupid as to scheme against them?”
The Sixth Prince still had his head lowered. He felt very uncomfortable being called stupid by his father.
However, he did not dare to say anything. “Father, I was wrong. I won’t do it again.”
The Emperor reached out and slapped the table. “You want a next time?”
“I’m telling you, if you dare to plot against Xiao Baili and Xi Rui again, you can go guard the Imperial Mausoleum.”
The Sixth Prince was shocked. He immediately raised his head and promised, “Father, I really don’t dare to do it anymore. I definitely won’t scheme against them again.”
He didn’t expect his father to value Xiao Baili and Xi Rui so much.
He was suddenly glad that his previous plan had not succeeded. Otherwise, if his father had found out about his scheme, he would be finished.
King Yi wasn’t someone to be trifled with, he would definitely lose a layer of skin.
At the same time, he was also angry with his cousin. If it wasn’t for that woman’s bad idea, he wouldn’t have schemed against Xiao Baili.
Now, he had been scolded by his father and disappointed him. He had suffered a great loss.
The Emperor looked at him and knew that he did not dare to scheme anymore.
He waved his hand. “Alright, you can leave.”
He had originally wanted Sixth Brother to do some important official business, but now it was better to forget about it.
The Sixth Prince didn’t dare to say anything and left respectfully.
As soon as he returned to the residence, he was invited to the Yan Family.
Old Master Yan had originally wanted to marry his granddaughter to Xi Rui so that he could win over the Xi Family.
State Duke Xi had a deep background. Although he had handed over military power, Prince Xi was highly valued by the Emperor and had the care of the Empress Dowager. If he stood on the Sixth Prince’s side, he would be a great help in the future.
Who would have thought that Xi Rui didn’t like his granddaughter and didn’t get married?
After what happened at the banquet, Old Master Yan agreed with his granddaughter. Since she had no choice but to marry into the Sixth Prince’s residence, she naturally had to take the position of the main consort.
Thus, Old Master Yan and the Sixth Prince had a secret discussion.
An hour later, the Sixth Prince left the Yan Family with an unpleasant expression. Then, he ordered his men to continue with their tasks.
He had no choice. The Yan Family meant that he had to marry his cousin sister. Otherwise, they would not help him in the future.
Although he had said a lot of good things and promised a lot of benefits, he was still very disgusted and felt a little resentful toward his mother’s family.
Initially, he still had a good impression of his cousin, but now, all that was left was disgust.
The Sixth Prince had sent someone to cause an accident to his fiancée and Xiao Hanzheng had received the news immediately.
He went to investigate the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and found that he was a good father who loved his daughter.
So he had someone secretly pass a message to the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs, telling him that the Sixth Prince wanted to harm his daughter.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs had four sons and a daughter. The whole family loved their daughter very much.
After receiving the news, he was furious. If this was true, then the Sixth Prince was too much.
Of course, he didn’t completely believe it, but he hired an expert to protect his daughter.
Two days later, the Sixth Prince’s fiancée accompanied the elders to the suburbs to offer incense. On the way back, the horse suddenly went crazy and pulled the carriage toward a cliff.
Fortunately, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs had hired a skilled and reliable person. He managed to control the crazy horse before the carriage fell off the cliff and saved the young lady in the carriage.
After the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs found out, he also knew that the previous news was true.
Hence, he rushed over with his men and specially asked them to check on the crazy horse.
Then, he found that the horse had been fed a drug that could cause madness in advance.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs collected the evidence and entered the palace. His family could not afford the Sixth Prince’s wife, so if the Yan Family liked her, they could give it to them.
However, he also bore a grudge against the Yan Family and the Sixth Prince.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs spoke with grievance and a look of consideration for the royal family. What he meant was that his daughter had fallen ill and would need to recuperate for two years, so she would not delay the Sixth Prince’s marriage.
The Emperor comforted the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel
Affairs and could only cancel the engagement between the two families.
At the same time, he secretly made up for it and cleaned up the mess for his stupid son.
After the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs left, the Emperor directly betrothed the Sixth Prince to the Yan Family’s legitimate daughter.
The Emperor narrowed his eyes coldly. Since they wanted to be tied together, then so be it.
The time of the wedding was still the same as before, but the candidate for the Crown Prince’s wife had changed.
At the same time, the Emperor sent the Sixth Prince to the southwest.
It was better to throw such a stupid son out to train his brain before coming back.
The Emperor had always been very satisfied with the Crown Prince and had even personally brought him to his side to educate him.
Because he had never thought of changing the Crown Prince, he did not treat his other sons as the Crown Prince’s whetstone.
Now that he hated the Sixth Prince, he would throw him out of sight and out of mind. It would also be a good way to give an explanation to his royal brother and the Xi Family.
Whatever he could find out, his royal brother and the Xi Family could naturally find out as well.
When the imperial edict came down, the people in the capital were not very surprised. They only felt that it was a pity for the young miss of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs.
However, it was the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan’s fault in the first place, so the reputation of the young miss of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs was not affected much.
On the contrary, they sympathized with her. In order to help the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan, she had to ‘recuperate’ for two years.
When everyone heard that the Emperor had sent the Sixth Prince to the southwest for work, the smart ones guessed that the Sixth Prince had been detested by the Emperor.
When the Sixth Prince heard that he would be sent to the southwest, it was as if he had been struck by lightning.
At the same time, he had also heard his father’s message. His father had found out about what he had done, so this was a punishment.
He originally wanted to go to Jiangnan, but who would have thought that it would become the southwest? He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Therefore, he directly blamed Miss Yan and the Yan Family. If they had not forced him, he would not have attacked his fiancée.
However, there was no longer any resentment now. He had to endure it because in the future, he would need his maternal grandfather’s help to bring him back from the southwest.
On the day that the Sixth Prince left the capital, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng took Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi to a restaurant on the way out of the city to celebrate.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo had never hidden the fact that they had been raising their younger siblings. They did not want to raise them into delicate flowers in a greenhouse.
Seeing the Sixth Prince’s carriage leaving downstairs, Xiao Hanyi looked at Xiao Hanzheng with admiration.
“Big Brother, you are really amazing.”
His eldest brother did not personally take action, but he had ruined the reputation of the Sixth Prince who had schemed against his sister. He was even abandoned by the Emperor and thrown out of the capital.
It would not be easy to return to the capital in the future, and it would be difficult to fight for the throne.
More importantly, he would not have the chance to scheme against his sister again.
He realized that he still had a lot to learn from his big brother. He had solved such a hidden danger without bloodshed..
